Watch us grow!
Mama’s work friends threw her a party today to celebrate the work she’s done Children’s Hospital. It was hot in Pleasant Hill but the kids enjoyed the water table that was set up in the backyard.
The boys also stayed cool in the hallway together.
The kids had a blast playing together and the posse moved from room to room.
What a fun party!
This afternoon, we drove to a park in Oakland to celebrate Hudson’s birthday. It was the first time we had both kids riding in the back in their new seats. It looks so spacious back there now.
Once we arrived, Janie found Henry playing under the tree picking flowers. She found a California poppy.
We put up out pop-up tent next to Henry’s and the kids played together rather nicely.
We also had a good gathering of friends in our tent for snacks.
Hudson loved his birthday cupcake and ate the whole thing.
Auntie Teresa makes the best carrot cake and also made these special Brown Bear cupcakes for the occasion.
Peanut still doesn’t like cake, just in case you were wondering.
Peanut contributed to the birthday book with lots of cool scribbles.
The kids passed out on the drive home. What a fun party!
They also took a bath together when they woke up.
This evening, we went to Mommy’s co-worker’s retirement party in Oakland. Everyone brought their kids so it was kid-a-palooza. Peanut hung out and shared toys with Hudson.
Janie played with Mako, Sophie, Henry, and Vivian.
By the end of the night, Janie took out her flashlight, turned off the light in the playroom, and the kids had their own little dance party. Miraculously, we also managed to get a group photo of most of the kids together.
This afternoon, we attended Henry’s 3rd Birthday Party. It was complete with construction hats, cones, a bulldozer, and other fun things to play with.
Janie played inside the fort with Henry and his cousin Dash.
Peanut also played with the birthday boy and his cousin.
There was a Mater pinata and Janie made a pretty good whack at it.
Here is Janie and her buddy Henry cheesin’ for the camera. Happy Birthday, Henry!
Henry’s little brother, Hudson, posed with Peanut.
Tia Patty opened her own sensory gym this year and invited us over for an afternoon of fun.
Peanut hung out in the ball swing with Max who is 10 days older.
There was a train table that he enjoyed destroying.
He also went for a ride on the little burros. First the brown one and then the gray one.
Janie had just as much fun swinging, crawling, jumping, and climbing.
The ball pit with lights underneath was by far her favorite part.
She and Sophie had a fun time together like two little girls in a hot tub.
Meanwhile, Peanut hung out in the pillow pit with Max, Liam, and McKenna. The twins were born just hours after he was at the same hospital!!
Hudson and Henry also came and had a good time.
Sabrina had fun at the train table too but was a little shy around the other kids.
It was so much fun to see all the kids and Mamas all together in one place.

Here’s a video of Janie on the trapeze. She wasn’t as fast as her friend Sophie but pretty good for her first try.
Thank you for such a fun party, Tia Patty! We love your gym!
